What is AcuDetox?

AcuDetox—also known as the NADA protocol—is a gentle, supportive form of ear acupuncture designed to help the body rebalance and reset. Using five small, sterilized needles placed in specific points on each ear, AcuDetox encourages deep relaxation while supporting emotional wellbeing, stress reduction, and the body’s natural detoxification processes.Originally developed by the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association, this treatment has been used for decades in wellness centers, mental health programs, addiction recovery settings, and community clinics around the world. Today, it’s widely recognized as a simple, accessible method for calming the nervous system and promoting whole-body healing.

How AcuDetox Works

Each of the five ear points corresponds to pathways connected to the liver, kidneys, lungs, and nervous system. When stimulated, these points help:

• Reduce stress and anxiety

• Support detoxification and metabolic balance

• Improve sleep and mental clarity

• Ease cravings and emotional tension

• Promote a grounded, centered feeling

AcuDetox sessions are typically quiet and meditative—many people find themselves feeling peaceful or even lightly drifting off during the treatment.

What to Expect in a Session

An AcuDetox session is quick, comfortable, and suitable for most people. Needles are placed lightly in the surface of the ear and remain for about 30–45 minutes while you relax.
